1/2 way to the 1st quarter's lessons 9/29-10/3 - 2008

It is one thing to believe that you possess remarkable potential. It is another thing to have enough faith in yourself that you think you can fulfill it. Let's keep working together to tap into all you can be. I have seen good things from you and I hope to see much more. Please check our past blogs and see if there is something you can still do to earn points. Remember "Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man,
But soon or later, the man who wins is the man who thinks he can."
